Sources:

The sources we have used are available in the Liverpool Record Office in the City Library, and in Lancashire County Record Office at Preston. We listed our sources in Woolton Park Walk last year, & have extended our range to the Land Tax for 1801, though we have made more use of Probate Records.

We need more studies of this kind all over Much and Little Woolton before we can understand the 19th century history of our area, but we are now sure this is a valid way of studying the people, the houses they chose to live in and the way they lived. If any readers can suggest new sources, please tell us!
